Mexico Retirement

Linda and I do not plan a Mexico retirement, but we consider ourselves very fortunate that we can drive to Mexico in two hours. We really enjoy a day trip to Progresso, Mexico for shopping, drinks, and dining. Prices in Mexico are much lower than the United States and when we shop in Mexico, our U. S. dollar really goes a long way.

There are many Winter Texans who live in South Texas to escape the cold weather of the north and to enjoy the many advantages of being close to Mexico. The medical and dental care is very good in Mexico and the cost for prescription drugs is very low. It is almost as good as a Mexico retirement.

Interest in retiring in Mexico has increased substantially with the dramatic drop in the stock market affecting so many retirees (or soon to be retirees) 401K's and retirement savings. The reduced value of retirement savings will last much longer in Mexico than in the U. S.
